Cranks

I don't.....I still pull from 1.6 to 1.8 mph. It wouldn't hurt to try but I just never have. Rees can probably shed some light on this.

i always pull like G 1.6-2mph.Here lately ive been going with someone else and he only doing 1.2-1.5mph and still catching fish.

Thanks G and blue for helping out . I tried mad cow and orange crush for the first time this weekend
Over half the fish came on those two .

At the slower speed are the baits still running same depths with equal line out?

No they will be running shallower.....all the trolling depth charts are figured at 1.8 mph with 10 lb. mono. Attachment 176232

Gave my mad cow to a sweet lady in Illinois. I been pulling at 1.5 most of the summer. As far as slowing down as it gets cooler I don't think its needed, heck most of the time spider rigging they bury the pole in the fall.
Pulled some Arkie's yesterday just to see how deep they would dive, with 50 feet of line out they were running around 7 feet deep.

I don't think it makes much difference G, been pulling a bunch at 1.5 this summer and bumping bottom rite on schedule. That's was with 300s mostly to and they are gonna dive.

Your running arkies on 10 lb mono?

So if I need to slow down I shouldn't need to let out line to maintain same depths

I run everything on ten lb. mono.....Rees uses braid. I am pulling in fairly open water so I don't hang up much.....I don't lose that many cranks
